Are You In A Metabolic Shambles?

Have you ever started a weight loss diet program and maybe lost some weight but as

soon as you started eating normally again the weight came back on with maybe some extra?

This mystery can be explained by the condition of your metabolism - your body's engine and fat burning machinery.

When we see slim people who can eat virtually anything without gaining weight we believe that person has been gifted with a fast metabolism and can indulge in any food they want without the consequences of weight gain. And the opposite is true as well as if you have a slow or sluggish metabolism - it can blunt even the most valiant efforts at weight loss.

If you are the owner of a slow metabolism it could have been caused by many factors such as low calorie diets, poor food quality, processed foods, lack of protein or essential fats, too many carbohydrates, dehydration, stress, toxins or chemicals in food.

Many people in an effort to try and lose weight quickly tend to cut calories too much. This is one of the major reasons why many people dieting suffer from a slow metabolism as the body goes into starvation mode and hanging on to its fat stores and triying to conserve every last bit of energy for survival.

To get around this and rebuild your metabolic motor so it works for you rather than against you a proper nutrition plan should be followed. Small meals eaten every 2-3 hours throughout the day each containing around 20 grams of protein and the balance vegetables is at the top of the list.

Next a proper exercise program made up mostly of strength training exercise is next on the list. Muscle tissue is where fat is burned for energy so the condition of those muscle cells is very important so fat burning is boosted. You cannot repair and rebuild your metabolism doing long. Slow. endurance type of activity such as walking, jogging or cycling.

These activities are fine in your spare time but can never ever replace a proper exercise program that works the muscular system through their ranges of movement under a load.

The speed of your metabolism depends on the condition and state of that muscular system so a couple of sessions each week is enough if the program is done correctly.

To ensure this seek the help of a fitness professional to set up your program and teach you how to do the exercises with the correct level of intensity (degree of effort used) so you can get your metabolism back up to speed to burn off unwanted body fat.

This rebuilding process will take some time and you will need to be patient. You did not damage your metabolism overnight so it is not going to repair itself overnight.

You have to accept that when you do begin a balanced eating plan, your weight may not drop as you expected but you have to repair your metabolism before your body can begin melting body fat. But once you have rebuilt it with proper nutrition and a proper exercise program just you watch that strong, lean, slim, healthy body emerge.
